Tentacle Miscreation Need further details

hmm

Faster projectiles definitely increases their range.

I also discover that they react strangely to chain.

Test this out: GMP or LMP + Chain

you'll see the tentacles shoot a stream of 5 on each "appendage" but only 2 bolts per stream seems to dart away. Am either seeing things or chain only affects the original stream of bolts.

I'll tell you this, I played a map that had the "mobs projectile attacks chain 2 times" mod. it had titty bitch bosses... i got rapeeeed hard.

the darts bounced between my 2 totems and me killing us as if we were standing in the crossfire where the 2 stream meet.

Their projectiles have innate pierce. Piercing and Chaining are mutually exclusive, only one of them can occur for each hit. These effects are prioritized in the above order. For example, if a projectile has the ability to both pierce and chain: Chance to Pierce will be checked first if it did not pierce then it can chain.

I wonder what their pierce chance is. If it is at least 26% and stacks with a max quality Chance to Pierce support, you could give them 100% piercing. If that works, I'd consider LMP over GMP for maximum damage to area coverage.

i think they have either 90-100% piercing chance, so chain doesn't seem to be very effective on them.

I remember somebody also commented on this 'bug'

Everything works as you think it does.

I've been using them for months now, occasionally with faster attacks. There's an obvious delay between their attack sequences that, at least to me, appears shorter with the faster attacks gem.

Try this; get one tentacle miscreation up with the gem, one without, and no dmg support gems, and go find a boss with a decent amount of hp like Kole. Watch them fight the boss for awhile as a test.

From reading various posts I'm not the only one that thinks the gem works, obviously.

If we're talking about Lunaris level 3 Tentacle Miscreations, I've put down so many totems in their face that have absorbed every single shot that I have a hard time believing its anything nearly that high. To tell the truth, I haven't seen a single shot pierce.
